A Perpetual Wait

Congregation of stars
Had adorned the sky
I kept calling you love
But there was no reply

Scattering its shine
The moon smiled wide,
Only for you I’d asked
Heaven be beautified

The moments, one by one
Are slipping away from me
Who knows if we’ll get again
Such night cool and balmy

Having waited so long,
Stars are falling asleep
The darkness with dewdrops
Has started to weep

My eyes, too, are moist
Just looking at the way
On which caravans of hope
Are now moving away

I think it’s curtain down
It’s not going to rise,
The shards of broken dreams
Are irritating my eyes

Let me go inside now
Shut windows and the door
No one is going to come,
No expectation any more
